New AUO display lineup includes up to 800Hz panels

Panel manufacturer AUO is set to make a significant splash at the upcoming Touch Taiwan 2026 trade show in Taipei. Leading its gaming-focused lineup is a world-first 24-inch Full HD panel capable of a staggering 800Hz refresh rate.

As reported by Prad, the company is also addressing the high-resolution enthusiast segment with a pair of new dual-mode switchable displays. The first is a 32-inch 4K unit that supports up to 360Hz, while the second is a 27-inch 5K panel with a maximum refresh rate of 180Hz. Both models use a dual-frequency mode that lets users prioritise either pixel density or raw speed, depending on the task at hand. Notably, the 27-inch 5K model is expected to offer seamless switching to WQHD (1440p) resolution.

The mobile productivity market hasn't been overlooked either. AUO is introducing a new 16-inch LTPS laptop panel with WQHD resolution and advanced power-saving capabilities. Similar to high-end smartphone displays, this panel can dynamically scale its refresh rate from 165Hz to 1Hz when viewing static content. This ultra-low-power state is intended to extend battery life in mobile devices.

Beyond that, AUO is leveraging its MicroLED expertise to showcase the technology's versatility across various sectors. This includes a massive 54-inch transparent signage display integrated into a retail showcase, as well as a fully rollable MicroLED screen designed for space-saving in-vehicle entertainment. The manufacturer is also bringing these high-end optics to the public transport sector, developing 16.1-inch transparent, double-sided displays for trains that can overlay travel information and safety alerts directly onto window surfaces without obstructing the view.
